The front lawn is divided into two sections that are bisected by the walkway that leads to the front door. I've been frustrated and disappointed by numerous attempts to grow grass here so I've decided to do away with the grass and cover the areas in gravel pathways and mondo grass and other shade-loving groundcovers.
This weekend I finished the smaller area and I think I'm pleased with the results. What do you think?

And after -
Now, on to tackle the other side which is double the size. More to come!

I look forward to the update(s), This is a new plant to me so I'll stay tuned.
Yes, Oregon is similar to Washington in that it is divided into two climates. The cascade mountain range delineates the two. Thankfully I live on the plant/people-friendly west side with a strong marine influence that typically keeps our weather on the mild side. The east side is plagued with severe winters as well as summers. I'm glad that you can take the heat [105 wow!] otherwise your yard would be perennially the Before photo. :]
